Helpful Score: 1


A story of a human experiment -- tampering with human intelligence and a love triangle between two people. This story is utterly fascinating if you know the story behind the story. Flowers of Algernon was originally a short story that was translated into English. The character "Charlie" undergoes several operations upon his brain with some rather unexpected results that will make you laugh and cry.
